Background
Osteosarcoma is rare — only around 1,000 people are diagnosed in the United States each year. Osteosarcoma most commonly occurs in children, teenagers and young adults between the ages of 10 and 30. It is slightly more common in boys and young men. There is a peak incidence of osteosarcoma during the adolescent growth spurt. It is very rare in children under 5 years old.
There have been no improvements in survival of osteosarcoma patients for more than 30 years. Osteosarcoma is complex, and more research is needed.
More research is needed to improve the survival rates, and hopeful cures, for osteosarcoma patients.
Areas of research include gene therapy, targeted drug therapy and immunotherapy. Contribute to Osteosarcoma Institute
